DAVM Chapter 97.2

“Zhile, do you like bottles very much?”

“Hold your head high¹昂首挺胸, áng shǒu tǐng xiōng: Hold your head high, hold your chest high, a Chinese idiom, which means to raise your head and hold your chest high. Describes high fighting spirit and strong morale. From “Little Young Girl”, “Five Heroes of Langya Mountain”.”

As a child who loves cleanliness very much, Ji Ningyi made up his mind at this moment: “Then, let’s pick it up tomorrow.”

“Ah?” Ji Zhile’s eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head, “No, I have other tasks tomorrow, so I can’t pick up the bottle.”

“But, you like the bottle very much. Jiang Ranyang even gave you the bottle.” Ji Ningyi’s tone was slightly accusatory.

Ji Zhile frowned and said quietly and honestly: “Actually, I don’t like bottles very much. What I like is money.”

“This is the bottle that Jiang Ranyang didn’t want, so I took it back.”

Ji Ningyi: “Didn’t Jiang Ranyang give it to you?”

“Of course not!”

Ji Zhile pulled Ji Ningyi back to the room and put the garbage bag outside the door. His mother wouldn’t let him take it home because he picked up garbage, saying it would make it dirty, so Ji Zhile remembered it.

After returning to the room and closing the door, making sure that there was no one around, Ji Zhile said to Ji Ningyi: “I saw Jiang Ranyang’s mother swearing just now. She was so fierce. Our Mom is more gentle.”

Originally, Ji Zhile thought that Si Tian was very fierce, but now he knew how good she was after there was a comparison.

Ji Zhile told Ji Ningyi everything about what he had just encountered and wiped his chest: “It was so scary that I didn’t dare to move, but Jiang Ranyang’s mother stopped swearing when she saw me.”

“Alas.” He sighed leisurely, “I think Jiang Ranyang is more pitiful than me.”

Ji Ningyi just figured out what happened tonight. It turned out that the relationship between Ji Zhile and Jiang Ranyang was not very good yet. Ji Ningyi felt a little awkward, but he finally asked at this moment.

“Zhile, do you like playing with Jiang Ranyang very much?”

Ji Zhile said a little embarrassedly: “Jiang Ranyang has Ultraman and excavator toys at home.”

He went to Jiang Ranyang’s house more for the sake of toys. Ji Zhile was a very powerful kid.

As soon as Ji Ningyi heard this, he was in a better mood. He asked again: “If Jiang Ranyang and I were together, who would you choose to play with?”

Ji Zhile didn’t quite understand: “Can’t we play together?”

Ji Ningyi: “What if you have to choose one?”

Ji Zhile was in a tangle, mainly because he took the empty water bottle from Jiang Ranyang’s house and played with Jiang Ranyang’s toys. Wouldn’t it be unpleasant to break up with Jiang Ranyang like this?

He thought about it all over his head. What to say to Jiang Ranyang if they broke up with each other?

When Ji Ningyi saw Ji Zhile’s tangled look, his mood went up and down. He was clearly Ji Zhile’s brother, and he had grown up with Ji Zhile.

At this time, Ji Zhile suddenly raised his head and said to Ji Ningyi: “Brother, let’s return the bottle to Jiang Ranyang together and forget about the toys.”

“What?” Ji Ningyi was a little confused.

Ji Zhile said, “Didn’t you stop playing with Jiang Ranyang from now on?”

Ji Ningyi’s possessiveness toward his younger brother is not so strong that he is not allowed to play with others. It was just that they both hated Jiang Ranyang before, but Ji Zhile’s sudden change seemed like a betrayal, which made Ji Ningyi feel a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ji Zhile’s answer seemed to reassure Ji Ningyi. He said: “That’s not the case. I’m just making a hypothesis. I won’t let Zhile only choose to play with me.”

Ji Zhile understood. He stretched out his arms to hug Ji Ningyi. His tone was soft as if coaxing others: “Don’t worry, Brother, I will always choose you. We are best friends.”

Being embraced by his younger brother, Ji Ningyi blushed a little after realizing it.

It was obvious that he was the elder brother and should be more sensible and understanding, but in the end, he needed Ji Zhile’s comfort. Ji Ningyi felt ashamed, but he had to say that Ji Zhile’s words were very useful.

Ji Ningyi suddenly felt that his younger brother seemed to have grown up a bit.
